Essential Knowledge through the Phases “The more slowly trees grow at first,
the sounder they are at the core,
and I think the same is true of human beings.”
Henry David Thoreau
At MC², Phase 1 is focused on having students understand the Habits that are essential to successful lifelong learning, and develop their ability to consciously apply those Habits. Phase 1 also targets competency in Basic Skills.
Phase 2 expects students to continue developing their competency in the Habits, while shifting focus to applying those Habits to acquiring Essential Knowledge.
By Phase 3, students are expected to be able to effectively and efficiently use the Habits for Essential Knowledge development. This is the phase where students are expected to document most of their Essential Knowledge. During
Phase 4, students apply Habits and Essential Knowledge as they prepare to move into adult life.
